Abstract: An assembly for providing a fastening possibility for a vehicle component to a body component is configured as a torsion clip and includes a connecting element and a retaining element. The assembly is transferable from a pre-assembly or delivery state into a prefixation state, wherein, in order to transfer the assembly from its pre-assembly or delivery state into its pre-fixation state, a torque is exerted on the retaining element in such a way that the retaining element is twisted relative to the connecting element in order to enable passage of a retaining region of the retaining element through a fastening opening of the body component.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle door switch actuating apparatus (100). The apparatus includes an actuating element (104) having an actuating surface (110), a mechanical switch (112), and a mechanism for transferring a compressive force applied by a user to the actuating surface (110) onto the mechanical switch (112) in order to flip the mechanical switch (112). The mechanism includes: a first component (102) on which the mechanical switch (112) is fixed at least in the switching direction; and a lever (120) pivotally supported about a pivot axis (124) relative to the first component (102) or the first component group and connected to the actuating element (104) via a first bearing on a first side (111) of the actuating surface (110). The actuating element (104) is supported on the first component (102) or the first component group via a second bearing on a second side (113) of the actuating surface (110). The actuating element (104) is flexibly configured such that, when manual pressure is applied to the actuating surface (110), it flexibly bends, thereby causing a change in the distance between the first bearing and the second bearing, in particular a shortening or lengthening of the distance, and thus causes the lever to pivot about the pivot axis (124). The mechanical switch (112) is arranged such that, by pivoting the lever, the mechanical switch (112) is flipped. The lever (120) extends substantially parallel to the first side (111) of the actuating surface (110).

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an actuating mechanism (1) for actuating a vehicle door, in particular a vehicle exterior door. The actuating mechanism (1) comprises a manually actuatable handle part (2), which can be transferred between a home position in which the handle part (2) is preferably completely recessed in the vehicle shell and an actuating position in which the handle part (2) at least partially or regionally protrudes out of the vehicle shell such that a gripping region is created between the handle part (2) and an exterior of the vehicle, into which the hand of a user can be at least partially inserted; and. The actuating mechanism (1) includes an actuator (3), which is associated with the handle part (2) and is configured so as to transfer the handle part (2) from its home position into its actuating position and vice versa, as needed. According to the disclosure, it is provided in particular that the actuator (3) is configured as a rotary drive with a rotationally driveable drive wheel (4), wherein the actuator (3) comprises a gearing mechanism (5) via which a rotational movement of the drive wheel (4) is or can be switched into a linear movement of the handle part (2).

Abstract: A locking device enables locking a charging, fueling, or service flap on a compartment. The flap is reversibly movable between a closed position and an open position. The locking device includes a flap lock for locking the flap in its closed position. The flap lock has a locking position, in which the flap lock locks the flap, and a release position in which the flap is moveable in relation to the flap lock. A first transfer shaft is connected to the flap lock such that the flap lock is moveable by a movement of the first transfer shaft between the locking position and the release position. A pushing element is connected to the first transfer shaft and configured so as to push the flap out of its closed position away from the charging compartment after the flap lock is transferred into its release position.
